Trevor said, "I haven't been involved in the company's later development."Hearing this, Chester looked at Wynn in surprise. "So, Wynn, you're actually capable?"Wynn replied, "Not really. The credit goes to the engineers. Most of them were already with the company before I took over. The company's current success is, as you said, largely thanks to Trevor. I had very little to do with it."Chester smiled and said, "You're really modest."At first, upon learning that Wynn had her own business only because Trevor gave it to her, Chester had thought she wasn't all that impressive and didn't quite match up to Trevor.But now, hearing them speak and watching how they supported and acknowledged each other, he suddenly figured that Trevor must regard Wynn as an expert in the AI field—someone even more specialized than he was—and that's why he had entrusted her with the company, believing it would grow better in her hands.After all, Trevor was indeed generous and humble. It was exactly
Beck chased after Celeste, but he was still too late. By the time he reached the elevator, Celeste had already taken it downstairs.Elsewhere, Trevor was chatting with someone when his phone rang.He glanced at the caller ID and answered.After a while, he hung up, just as Wynn walked over and asked, "Who was it? You sounded pretty happy.""A college classmate. He's in Baumond on a business trip. We haven't seen each other in ages, so he wanted to catch up over a meal. I happened to be free, so I agreed." Then Trevor asked, "Want to come along?"When she met Trevor, he had already graduated. She had seen a few of his college friends in social settings, but they all seemed to just be acquaintances.This one, however, seemed to have a closer relationship with him.She nodded and said, "Sure."Trevor chatted with a few more people, then left with Wynn for the restaurant where they were meeting.His classmate, an expatriate named Chester Leighton, was already there. He was quite
Jorge didn't leave and continued to stay by Wynn's side.A short while later, just as Wynn was about to go look for Trevor, he was no longer standing by Celeste's side.Instead, Celeste was speaking with Harold.Given how well Harold and Jorge knew each other, it was natural for them to greet one another in public.After the greeting, Jorge began introducing Wynn, "Mr. Jennings, this is—"But Harold smiled and cut him off, saying, "Ms. Locket, we've met before."Wynn politely greeted Harold.He nodded and smiled, then turned his gaze back to Celeste. "Cel, have you been keeping busy lately?"Even though the summit had ended, they were still in a public setting. Harold's warm and familiar way of addressing Celeste, and the gentler tone he used with her compared to how he spoke with Jorge, made it clear.Harold was quite fond of Celeste and made no attempt to hide it.Celeste nodded. "Yes."She could certainly sense Harold's fondness.She had always greeted him normally in
Jorge also came to the summit.His seat was in the second row, just behind and to the side of Celeste and Trevor.He arrived rather late.So, just as he was about to sit down, he saw Trevor turning slightly to take the initiative and speak to Celeste.When Celeste ignored him, the smile on Trevor's face was…Jorge's expression darkened slightly.He didn't know why, but he had always felt that Trevor treated Celeste somewhat differently.In the past few months, there hadn't been any inappropriate interactions between the two, so he had assumed Trevor had lost interest in Celeste.But now—Jorge's scrutinizing gaze was so direct that it was impossible for Trevor not to notice.He turned his head and looked over. "Mr. Robinson, you're here too?"Jorge withdrew the emotion from his eyes and replied with a slightly cold hum.At this Enterprise Excellence Summit, Harold was one of the main political figures present. After finishing his speech, Harold and the other officials began
For safety, Celeste hired two more caregivers to look after Isabelle and also asked them to keep an eye on what was happening in Room 1003.That very evening, she received word that the patient in Room 1003 had already been discharged ahead of schedule.Although Patricia had been discharged and nothing had happened in the hospital before she left, Celeste, erring on the side of caution, did not dismiss the two caregivers.Instead, she instructed them to stay on and continue caring for Isabelle.Matthias was currently in the middle of negotiations with potential partners on the autonomous vehicle project, so he had been extremely busy over the past few days.As a result, Celeste attended the government's Enterprise Excellence Summit on his behalf. This summit was an official recognition and celebration of enterprises' growth and contributions.Roughly six to seven hundred companies were invited to attend.Celeste didn't arrive particularly early.However, as soon as she entered,
Before the doctor could respond, a nearby young nurse chimed in, answering Celeste's question."The patient in Room 1003 is an elderly lady. She fainted yesterday due to high blood pressure. After some tests, it turned out to be nothing serious. "She could've been discharged the same day, but her family insisted she stay for two more days for observation."She's a picky one too—refused to stay in a regular ward and demanded a VIP room. Her family was quite pushy as well."Our VIP ward has been fully booked these past few days, but they're related to someone important."After that person made a few calls, they just took over a room someone else had already reserved..."The nurse kept talking nonstop until the doctor beside her gave a small cough, worried someone might overhear them.The nurse fell silent.So, that meant they would be leaving tomorrow?If that was the case, Celeste felt somewhat relieved. At least there was less risk that Isabelle would run into members of the
